Commonly Asked Questions

When are DOT drug tests required to be conducted?

Reasonable suspicion testing is conducted when there is evidence or reasonable cause to believe an employee is using drugs. Post-accident testing is done after an incident to determine if drugs were a factor. Return to duty and follow-up testing are conducted for employees who have previously tested positive and are returning to work.

What substances are tested in a DOT drug test?
